Threats to the site (pressure)
Threat level 1	Threat level 2	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Agricultural expansion and intensification	annual & perennial non-timber crops - agro-industry farming	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Biological resource use	hunting & collecting terrestrial animals - intentional use (species being assessed is the target)	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	slow but significant deterioration	high
Biological resource use	logging & wood harvesting - unintentional effects: subsistence/small scale	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	very high
Energy production and mining	mining and quarrying	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high

Conservation actions taken at the site (response)
Protected-area designation	Management planning	Other conservation action	Result
Most of site (50-90%) covered (including the most critical parts for important bird species)	No management plan exists but the management planning process has begun	Substantive conservation measures are being implemented but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity	low
